Bringing together renowned scholars and emerging scholars from Japan, the United States, and Europe, this volume addresses and challenges past and present Olympic narratives and legacies in Japan. In contrast to existing research, the contributions of the sixteen sport scientists from historical, sociological, and cultural studies perspectives will not only revisit established narratives, but also bring to light the hidden and marginalized narratives and legacies at the periphery or in the shadows of official discourses. Andreas Niehaus is a Japanologist with a focus on Japanese sports history and Yabu Kotaro is a sports historian specializing in Japanese martial arts.

The authors, anti-Olympic activists, took part in a protest rally and march in Tokyo's Shinjuku shopping district against the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. People from former and future Olympic host cities-Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, London, and PyeongChang-converged to spotlight that the "Recovery Games" don't and won't help recovery from Fukushima's 2011 nuclear disaster. According to the authors, Fukushima's catastrophe teed up an archetypal opportunity for what Naomi Klein (2007) calls "disaster capitalism." Disasters-wars, typhoons, floods, terrorist attacks-thrust a population into a state of shock that leaves it susceptible to capitalists who seize the pandemonium to privatize, deregulate, and marketize. A disaster brings "a total merger of political and corporate elites in the name of security" in ways that justify and bolster neoliberal capitalism. Similar dynamics can also emerge during collective states of euphoria like the Olympic Games-or, "celebration capitalism". The authors identify a potent synergy of disaster capitalism and celebration capitalism. Both torque the normal rules of politics and law, creating opportunities for well-connected political and economic elites. This turbocharged blend reinforces and fuses nationalism, consumerism, and "disaster recovery," refashioning them into a powerful political-economic spectacle driven by Olympic ideology-a collective, feel-good way forward in uncertain times. Yet, according to the authors, the Olympics cannot, by design or desire, accomplish these goals. To the contrary, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are amplifying global ecological, social, and political crises.

In this opinion article, Andrew Zimbalist, analyses the situation of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Tokyo Olympics, that will be remembered historically as the first postponed Games, from the perspective of economics. In this regard, Tokyo 2020 and the coronavirus pandemic have introduced a new element of uncertainty and expense into the economic cost-benefit analysis of hosting the Olympic Games. The Olympics' first postponed Games in Tokyo, then, will only complicate the IOC's task of finding economically and politically suitable cities to host its future Games.
